Birkdale Golf Club

I went here and the greens looked like a naked mole rat. I’m so dissapointed in this 70 dollar round. But I still played great shooting a 110 from the front tees. I played my personal best ever. Almost made it on hole 6 or 7 I can’t remember. I can’t weight for this amazing golf year at better courses.

Booked this course hoping for a relaxing morning round, but it turned into a slow, frustrating slog. The fairways were patchy and the greens felt inconsistent almost like every putt was a guessing game rather than skill. We also waited on nearly every hole with no marshal in sight. At one point, a group behind us actually teed off while we were still in the fairway, which says a lot about how things were being managed that day. I left feeling like I paid for the idea of a nice golf experience rather than the real thing. Won’t be rushing back.

I used to go here regularly back when I was taking golfing lessons here but these days I do not have as much time and do not visit as often. I feel like it used to be a lot more well-kept but I think over the years it just kind of fell behind. I remember for a good while there, the driving range net was falling apart and it really didn't look good. And then the driving range itself was sold off and apartments got built on it. It's unfortunate but I suppose you do what you have to in order to stay open. But nonetheless I still have some good memories here and it is an enjoyable course. The staff have always been kind and the course offers a wide variety of obstacles and unique holes. Water features and ponds are common on this course and offer a good challenge. Worth at least a visit if you are golfing north of the Charlotte area.

If you’re a decent player - don’t go here. Not worth it. The greens and bunkers are almost unplayable… I’d rather play in my backyard… it is actually maintained better than this course.

just played here for the first time. Very nice course. The greens were in excellent condition as were fairways and bunkers easily played 18 holes in four hours, A very good pace . The staff from the clubhouse to the starters and so forth are all very nice and accommodating. It’s really a very nice golf course and being a Palmer design has some nice challenges.
